midterm elections
Voters hold the key to democracy: Biden
US President Joe Biden said that the key to democracy is in the hands of the voters, commenting that if the Republicans take power in the US midterm elections, social security will be disrupted.
The US midterm elections are going to be held on November 8. As the elections are only a few days away, the candidates are campaigning hard. Preparations are also underway in the polling stations of various states.
In addition to retaining power, mid-term elections in the United States are one of the means of maintaining control over Congress and checking popularity. As time goes on, this important election on the US Constitution and parliamentary system is getting closer.
In a speech in Florida on Tuesday ahead of the election, the US president said that if the Republicans get power in the midterm elections, the development of the country's social security and health sector will be hindered. Biden said, the key to democracy is now completely in the hands of the voters.
He said, you have sacrificed a lot for social security throughout your life. Now that the Republicans are in power they will try to take a lot away from you.
Meanwhile, the mid-term elections are less than a week away. Candidates from both parties are campaigning hard.
The Biden administration is under pressure for many reasons, including the economic recession, gun violence, the US position in the Russia-Ukraine war and the immigration crisis.
Analysts say the incumbents may lose control of the House of Representatives in the mid-term elections. Democrats have a majority in the House, but the gap with Republicans is narrow. Therefore, they fear that the ruling party may lose control of the House of Representatives. In that case, the Republicans can stand in the way of implementing the plan of the Biden administration for the remaining two years of the term.
According to the Constitution, 35 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 100 in the Senate will be up for midterm elections on November 8.
